Barrier smiled, blushing slightly deeper green. "Thanks, Foxy, this is-- well, thanks."

She turned and swept her hand across the corner of her desk, scattering papers and wrappers to the floor. She propped up the picture in the space she created, and looked at it for a moment.

"This is really nice ...

Barrier grinned, remembering that sometimes Roxy jumped into things without really knowing why. "No, Rox. Plenty of guys dig cheerleaders. Half the football team will be leaving you little notes and crap, just you see."

Tolliver grunted. "Yeah, with big block letters with the S's backwards ...

Saskia smiled, but also looked embarrassed. "Oh, Rox... oh hey, you didn't have to get me nothing."

Roxy smiled and offered the box a second time.

The green girl slid out of bed, her bare feet twitching when they touched the cold floor. She ran a hand through her snarly hair and looked around the ...

"I did good, right?" Roxy asked more to herself then Saskia as she thought about what just happened.
Barrier grinned. "Course you did, Rox!" The green girl put a rough arm around Roxy's slim shoulders. "Now the boys are going to be chasing you ragged!"

"Not this boy," Tollivers syrupy smirk was ...

Saskia yawned and blinked as the door opened. She'd intended on napping, but it hadn't really happened. The season always got to her, with kids scampering about with their festive little hats, their cheery little smiles. Even Tolliver had gotten all Christmassy this year. Biff and Jack had both ...

Sam, I got two words for you: field hockey.

Let's talk.

Up on the bleachers, the usual crowd had gathered: many of the athletes of Saint Joe's always came to the cheer tryouts, half to laugh and half to encourage. And when Franky called Roxy's name, a low murmur passed through many of them: this was a real test for the young freshman that Barrier had ...

"Rox..?"

Roxy looked up and into Saskia's eyes. The troll girl-- no, she's not a troll , Roxy thought, correcting herself quietly-- seemed concerned. She looked at the food splattered on Roxy's jacket and skirt, and frowned angrily. Saskia turned quickly and stared at Autumn as he retreated from ...

0 concept + no back story = banishment


We discussed what made sjs good, we pointed out many things such as back story and concept and since the concept is tight the group is tight. I have yet to see anyone make the transition work so you'll excuse me for not supporting it at all. I really feel ...

Moon is pretty on-target. The Alumni group is part retirement, part active 50s. The rule is that you must be 45 to join Alumni is you are a "retiree," but there currently is no rule about restrictions for those characters who plan to stay active, but are graduating from SJS.

Alumni could even be ...

The green girl's expression was inscrutible for a moment. Then, slowly, she balled up her fists and set them on the lab table, as if steadying herself. Roxy immediately knew the depths of her tresspass: she didn't need to probe the girl's mind to read the changes to her demeanor.

Roxy was a little shocked when a square-jawed girl with green skin sat down next to her with a slouch. Four-inch horns poked up through her wild hair. Roxy had already seen people who looked like her: they plagued the Hollows and Skyway City.

"Hey, new girl," said the troll gruffly.

"Roxy," she ...
